The Italian architecture magazine Platform focuses its May issue on projects that celebrate outdoor living, discovered among the newest in the world. For example, the chair “Panarea, designed by CMP Design, is an outdoor seating collection by Pedrali featuring a traditional element hand-woven in Italy as a sign of respect for and dedication to Italian craftsmanship. The wide and curved backrest woven in polypropylene cord creates an original geometrical pattern and wraps around the tubular steel frame powder coated for outdoor use. This use of cord emphasises Panarea’s elegant appearance and optimises the weave, resulting in a double curvature that gives the seating threedimensionality and graphic rigour, as well as making it transparent and suitable for outdoor use.” (check out the Platform website)
